The Publicity Secretary of the All
Progressives Congress in Lagos State, Mr.
Joe Igbokwe, says former governor of
Lagos State, Babatunde Fashola and his
Rivers State counterpart, Rotimi Amaechi,
did not fund President Muhammadu
Buhari’s campaign.
He described Fani-Kayode, who is a former
Minister of Aviation’s allegation as a
‘bedtime story for kids’.
Fani-Kayode, in an
article on Friday, had
alleged that former governors Babatunde
Fashola of Lagos State and his Rivers
State counterpart, Rotimi Amaechi, funded
President Muhammadu Buhari’s campaign.
But Igbokwe urged the former minister to
quickly return the N840m he admitted to
receiving instead of giving excuses.
Igbokwe wondered how an opposition state
could have access to more funds than a
party that had been in control of Federal
Government resources for 16 years.
He said, “Fani-Kayode is afraid of his
shadow. Fani-Kayode’s PDP ruled Nigeria
for 16 years and also looted Nigeria for 16
years with nothing to show for it except
decayed infrastructure and empty treasury.
“In his confused state of mind, Fani-
Kayode thinks APC spent huge sums of
money including Lagos and Rivers states’
money to defeat Jonathan and PDP. This
is a bedtime story for kids. What the APC
did was to apply common sense where
PDP was spending billions.
“Fani-Kayode is one of the PDP shameless
leaders that destroyed the PDP. Fani-
Kayode left the PDP and for almost a year,
he rained abuses on President Jonathan
and the PDP. He left no stone unturned in
exposing Jonathan as clueless and
rudderless, and in fact he brought to the
public knowledge the inner workings of
PDP and its many woes. Fani-Kayode later
returned to the party he had labelled as a
monumental and colossal failure to serve
as the spokesman for the campaign
organisation. What a confused man.”
